Swedish Automobiles Are the Best (SAAB) sells two types of vehicles: a truck and a car. The monthly inverse demand or price equation for trucks is estimated as P = 65 -0.05Q (where Qt is the number of trucks sold and Pt is the price per truck in thousands). For cars is: Pe = 55 - 0.1Qc. It costs SAAB $27 (thousand) to produce each additional truck and $21 (thousand) to produce each additional car, so MC₁ = 27 and MC = 21. Assume no fixed cost so TC = MC × Q. X Suppose now that SAAB's production capacity is limited to 400 vehicles per month. Determine the profit-maximizing quantities of trucks (Q) and cars (Qc) and the total profit for each vehicle type with the new optimal quantities caused by the constraint.

The current world production of oil is 350 million barrels per day and the current world price of oil is N$850 per barrel. The price elasticity of demand (ε) is -0.3 and the elasticity of supply (η) is 0.1. Shiwa Investment is planning to enter the world oil market with a daily production of 13 million barrels of oil per day. For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear Calculate market price and total supply of oil after Shiwa investment has enter the world oil market and explain why the total supply of oil increases with less than 13 million.

Smooth Sailing, Inc., has estimated the demand function for its sailboats (quantity purchased annually) as follows: QD = 89, 830 – 40P5 + 20Px + 15P, + 21 + 0.001A + 10W %3D Where, QD = quantity purchased, Ps= the price of smooth sailing sailboats, Px= the price of Company X's sailboat, Py= the price of Company Y's motorboat, I= per capita income in dollars, A = dollars spent on advertising, and W = number of favorable days of weather in the southern region of the United States. a) Suppose that Ps = $9,000, Px= $9,500, Py = $10,000, I = $15,000, A = S170,000, and W = 160. Find the price elasticity of demand at that point. b) Is E, elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic in part (a)? Justify?
The daily demand for Invigorated PED shoes is estimated to be Q = 100– 3P, + 4P, – .01M + 24, where A, represents the amount of advertising spent on shoes (X), P, is the price of good X, P, is the price of good Y, and M is average income. Suppose good X sells at Rs.50 a pair, good Y sells at Rs.70, the company utilizes 100 units of advertising, and average consumer income is Rs.40,000. Calculate and interpret 1. Own Price Elasticity of demand 2. Cross Price Elasticity of demand 3. Income Elasticity of demand. 4. Are goods X and Y substitutes or complements? 5. Is good X a normal or an inferior good?
The demand function for a certain product is determined by the fact that the product of the price and the quantity demanded equals 8000. The product currently sells for $2.20 per unit. Suppose manufacturing costs are increasing over time at a rate of 18% and the company plans to increase the price p at this rate as well. Find the rate of change of demand over time. Find the demand function represented in this problem where p is the price of the product and q is the quantity demanded for the product. (Type an equation.)
